More than 100 people marched through the streets of Redfern on Sunday to protest the death of a local man who died trying to escape from police.

Patrick Fisher, 31, was wanted on outstanding warrants for stealing and assault when police kicked down the door of his girlfriend's home on Wednesday morning.

The father-of-three panicked and tried to escape, when he slipped off the 13th floor balcony of the apartment block.

Peaceful protesters arguing he would not have died if the police did not chase him stormed the streets of Redfern with a megaphone, yelling 'they say accident, we say murder', and 'too many coppers, not enough justice'.

A shrine was set up in his honour, where a snap back cap, colourful flowers, cards and candles were surrounded by bottles and gumnuts.

One attendee performed a traditional smoking ceremony as the crowd solemnly watched on.
